Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 214 (1.4 km), the nearest police station 43 Division (2.0 km) and the nearest ambulance station 1.9 km away.
Nearest station by straight line — not a response time, and not necessarily the station that would answer a call.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 115 m away, ≈39 spaces; 344 m away, ≈130 spaces; 436 m away, ≈29 spaces; 511 m away, ≈58 spaces; 563 m away, ≈61 spaces; 582 m away, ≈50 spaces.
Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 5, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,646 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 420. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 710 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 766 from 3:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
The City's counter on Ellesmere Rd between Spall Crt and Calverley Trl (216 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 9,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ellesmere Rd · Spall Crt – Calverley Trl · 216 m | Apr 2012 · 24 h | 9,239 | 54 km/h | 63 km/h | 68 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025, though 1 has been reported since January 2026.
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 24, 2026. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Highland Creek.
